Description: Few ideas have excited greater interest among theologians in recent decades than the idea of 'participation'. In thinking about creation, it is the notion that everything comes from, and depends upon, God, inviting the language of sharing, or of an exemplar and its images; in thinking about redemption, it points to the restoration of that image, and is expressed in the language of communion with God and with the redeemed community. In this volume, Andrew Davison considers these themes in unprecedented breadth, investigating the fundamental character of participation as it can be applied to a wide range of theological topics. Exploring what it means to know, to love, to do good, and to live together well, he shows how these ideas animate a particular understanding of human life and how we relate to the world around us. His book offers the most comprehensive survey of participation to date, contributing to detailed discussions of these themes among academic theologians.

Review: Very scholarly and systematic. The book richly repays the concentration needed. Sheds much light on this important dimension of theology and philosophy. Creative, liberating and normative as well as historical. Aristotle's work on the varieties of causality - past, present and future-oriented - as inherited and revised by Thomas Aquinas, can be recognised in this work as having affinities with both Augustine and Heidegger on temporality, and so with a theological account of God as the Lord of time. This also connects with Andrew Davison's promised book on finitude, and with his criticism of any too quantitative, or merely mathematical, version of infinity.
